The phrase "as a functional imaging" is not correct in English.
It seems to be an incomplete or incorrect expression, possibly intended to refer to "functional imaging" as a concept in medical or scientific contexts.
Example: "The study utilized advanced techniques as a functional imaging method to observe brain activity."
Alternatives: "as a functional imaging technique" or "as a form of functional imaging."
As a functional imaging method, rs-fMRI can measure interactions between ROIs when a subject is resting [52].
PET imaging, as a functional imaging methodology, provides a way for making in vivo measurements of specific biochemical reactions [5].
